Sizing Chart

Ruffwear's apparel features an active, tailored fit that hugs close to your dog's body, designed to move with their natural range of motion. Measurement is determined by your dog’s chest girth, measured around the widest part of the rib cage. Coverage may fit slightly shorter or longer depending on your dog’s proportions. If between sizes, size up for a more relaxed fit, or down for a more snug fit.

Swamp Cooler™ Cooling Dog Vest

Biolumin Blue

When shade is low and the mercury is high, dogs can count on the Swamp Cooler™ Vest to help keep the adventure going. Strategic material choices and design offer solutions for the challenges that hot-weather exploring presents. The light-colored fabric reflects solar radiation, while wetting the vest activates our Swamp Cooler™ Tech for that refreshing, just-stepped-out-of-a-lake feeling also known as evaporative cooling. Just give it a soak, put it on your dog, and go. When it dries, re-soak it to recharge it.

The Swamp Cooler™ Vest includes side-release buckles for easy on/off and a leash portal so it can be worn over a harness – topping off the essential features to make it our highest-coverage cooling option in the Swamp Cooler™ Collection. How does Swamp Cooler™ Tech work? Learn more about evaporative cooling and other ways to keep your dog cool here.

Wicking outer layer: reflects heat, facilitates evaporation to disperse heat, and offers UPF 50+. Absorbent middle layer: stores water for evaporation. Mesh lining: keeps dog dry and comfortable.

Black desert dogs rejoice.
I am actually shocked at how well this works on my dog. The first time I tried it, it was 96 degrees after sunset. My friend's dogs were playing in the yard, but my dog was panting heavily within a minute and didn't want to play . So I dunked it in water and put it on him, and within a couple of minutes he was tearing it up, and the other dogs quit playing long before he did.
The second time was a decently long hike. The ground was reasonably cool so it was safe for him to walk, but at high elevation the sun was INTENSE. We were heading home but his fur was starting to feel quite warm. I dunked it in a cattle trough we passed and once again he was much more comfortable and lively within minutes. He started running around with my much more heat tolerant dog. I'm going to buy a bigger backpack so I can carry water to keep this charged up all day once he's old enough for big adventures.
I kept sticking my hand under it and being amazed at how cool his fur and body felt on such a hot day. Wet his bandana too and tie it high on his neck for more coverage. He is a very long and slender dog, so I do wish it was a hair longer, but it's still great.
I appreciate the leash port, and hope all the buckles are tucked away. It helps prevent snags. Worked well with the Hi and Lite harness. The swamp cooler gets filthy if they roll around in the dust, but only needs a quick rinse and it's back to new.
I have no idea how well this would function in humid environments, but in the high…

A must for really warm weather
I definitely have it with me on warm days. Works well to the point my dog was panting and then cools enough he is no longer panting from being hot. It is durable and not too difficult to recharge.

This is worth every cent!
My time out on the trails in this hot weather was limited by how long my 9 yr old Husky could tolerate the heat. I was amazed at how cool he felt under the vest - compared to the rest of him! Of course, we still took frequent breaks for drinks and a cool down in the shade - but this vest certainly kept him cooler. We could both enjoy the trail!

Swamp cooler
Purchase made for our dwarf pinscher who is about 14 years old and still very active.
She has difficulty taking walks in the evening since the hot weather (even if it is 23/25 degrees on a late walk), she gasps quickly. With the fresh coat, no more panting problems, she stays cool and gallops happily!
We are very happy, when the temperatures are a bit too high but reasonable for walking, she can enjoy as if nothing had happened with her vest!
After an hour of walking she is still fresh under her vest without being cold, the material used is great!
